True story!

It seems my handwriting has magical fundraising properties. Over the last couple of years, we've tested appeals involving messages printed in typeface versus my handwriting; in other people's handwriting versus my handwriting; and in handwriting "font" versus my handwriting. Apparently, I win all the time...we're talking case study magnitude here.

But still, the company won't pay to convert my handwriting into a font, affordable though it may be, which would allow us to *customze* the handwritten message. What we do now is have me write it, and then write it, and then we laser it on as if it were a piece of art. Ha.

Sort of strange, but there you go. So now I get to spend a large part of my afternoon scribbling to get something lovely and consistent enough to scan in.

Just another way in which you are awesome.

(I just found the/a site that allows you to convert your handwriting into a font - very cool, and exceedingly reasonable in price).

(blush) Thank you.

Yeah. We researched that, but there are limitations when you're using it for commercial purposes, etc.

I think the objections are largely irrational. The powers that be just weren't ready for it, or something. We'll see.

Wow. I think you need to scan in an example of your handwriting and post it.

It's really not all that distinctive. My aunt thinks it's sloppy.

Your aunt must not be a big charity donor.

You do have remarkable handwriting. I've always said so. If you were to use mine, people would donate money and earmark it for penmanship classes.

Ditto on that.

I has craptastic handwriting.
